| 3.5 great | Robbit | October 5th 17 |
'TAGE MAHAL is an enjoyable, but somewhat inconsistent debut from Jon Oliva's Pain. Many song ideas, lyrics and musical motifs are deliberated lifted from Jon's past glories with Savatage as ear candy for his dedicated fans. This is most obvious on his self-tribute medley "People Say - Gimme Some Hell" which is spirited and fun, but also overwrought to the point of almost self parody. The energy level is high throughout and the musicians are certainly capable and adept at pulling on Jon's brand of progressive metal. My favorite songs here are "Walk Alone" and "No Escape". Admittedly, these aren't Jon's greatest batch of songs, but they are decent enough and played with conviction. Casual fans might fans might rate this between average and good at best, but Savatage hardcore's will probably nudge this to great.r
